    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    dug in 15 drawers looking for a 45 cal jag with 10 pitch threads. pawed past a nice little zebra wood box with silver latch at least a dozen times. finally for kicks and to refresh my memory of what was in that box, I looked. several dozen Jags, adapters, extensions of all sizes. being old...

    A Moment of Weakness

    I wish i had a new Kibler for every side lock percussion I have heard referred to as a flintlock, just because it was a sidelock. even on some 60's shows on rerun.

    I haven't purchased flints for longer than my memory. which don't mean nothing cause i can't remember supper. October Country, Track of the wolf, Muzzleloaderbuilders supply, Dixie gun works and probably 50 more all sell good English, French flints. buy a node of Georgetown off ebay and learn...

    Obsidian question.

    I figure it would explode like any other glass. Bingo! I have managed to get one ignition shower with Obsidian. then it was clean up these nasty SUPER sharp shards. next shot with chert was delayed for 15 minutes while i found bandaids.

    many many years ago I had a friend who taught drivers education at a high school. He always ordered cars with a standard transmission. stick shift if you will. his reason was that if the kids learned to drive a stick they could drive anything. go with a flint lock. master it and those funny...

    Info please with cocking effort on Hawken percussion lock

    first off i would recommend acquiring a replacement spring before working on the current one. nothing ruins my day like having a two piece main spring and nothing to replace it with for a month or so while some shipping entity attempts to lose or destroy it . as to the work you are...

    Blackening

    your lighter must be related to mine. I use a big diameter, short height candle. set off to the side. let it burn while working. this is the reason i have no hair on my left arm, but who cares! the smoke works for most stuff but this last barrel at 42 inches took forever to smoke. i switched...

    Can a Flintlock pistol beat all the Caplock pistols to win the championship?

    way to go. if i were 30 years younger i would track you down and pay you for lessons. I have several BP hand guns but never had much use for one.

    Can a Flintlock pistol beat all the Caplock pistols to win the championship?

    Storing your powder and pouring it

    and when the paper plate is covered with spillage you can fold it into a funnel, pouring the powder back into the bottle, brass flask, or down the muzzle.
